Chapter 20: The refugees have entered the county office!
Shen Yuyu stared at Lin Chunyan's rich expression with interest. In her previous life, she had studied investigative psychology for a period of time due to a mission.
She was talking about the time she used her supernatural powers to control Wang Zhicai when she went up the mountain. It seemed that there was something more interesting in this.
Just as she thought, after Wang Zhicai and Lin Chunyan violated the taboo that day, Lin Chunyan went to see Wang Zhicai several times, and then they ended up getting together naturally.
When Ma saw something unclear about Lin Chunyan's expression, she angrily pinched her arm.
Although her daughter is not as good-looking as Shen Yuyu, she is still a pretty girl from ten miles and eight villages. She has not married her out because she wants to find a good family. Although Wang Zhicai is a scholar, his family is very poor... How dare she give herself away like this!
No, she couldn't bear the loss. She had to go to the Wang family to seek justice for her daughter.
Mrs. Ma pulled Lin Chunyan, who looked panicked and a little happy, out of the Shen family's yard, still cursing as she left.
But this time the target of the curse became Wang Zhicai.
When Ma and Lin Chunyan entered, they saw many people waiting outside the Shen family's door. They were curious whether the Shen family would sell food to them.
So when Ma came out cursing, there were still many people waiting. The melon-eaters no longer squatted in front of Shen's house, but moved their positions with Ma.
Selling grain to the villagers just took up a lot of time, and it was even past lunch time, but fortunately, I had already eaten in another shift when I just sold grain.
"Second uncle and third uncle will go to town with me again and buy two ox carts." Shen Yuyu said.
I haven't been to town for a few days, and I don't know what the situation is now, so I just wanted to go and find out the situation.
"Okay, let's go now, it will be dark later," Shen Yun said.
Instead of driving the ox cart, the three of them walked to the town and arrived in less than half an hour.
Xing'an Town at this time was very different from the first time in Shen Yuyu's memory. There were only a few vendors hawking on the streets, and even the passers-by looked downcast.
The three of them went straight to the horse market with clear goals, and the gatekeeper was the same guy who received them last time.
The guy obviously still remembered this girl who was dressed simply but had an aura that didn't match her.
Seeing them, the clerk came up with a smile and asked: "Girl, you are here again, what do you want to buy this time?"
"Oxcart, please take us to see it." Shen Yuyu replied briefly.
The man didn't think there was anything wrong with her attitude and took them to the backyard where the livestock was kept.
Shen Yuyu glanced over and saw that there were only two cows, a mule and a horse left here.
With no choice, Shen Yuhu asked for the remaining two cows and asked the men to help them hitch the cart. One of them asked for a frame with a carriage.
She also thought that Mrs. Zhang was still pregnant, and since she had the conditions, she still wanted to make her comfortable on the journey.
The frames are all ready-made and just need to be put on the cow. Shen Yuyu looked at the sweaty man who was busy and kindly reminded: "The world is in chaos these days, so it's best for the man to be prepared in advance."
The clerk was stunned when he heard this, thinking that they had bought two more ox carts, and maybe they had heard some news.
Then he smiled gratefully and said, "Thank you for your kindness, miss, but this is the last day we will be open today. We will go to the master when he comes."
"Let me also give this girl a heads up. I heard that there are a lot of homeless people surrounding the county town right now. I want to force the county magistrate to open a warehouse to release grain. I think it's probably not good."
Shen Yuyu said: "Thank you man for informing me."
After the ox cart was hitched, Shen Yuyu paid the money and left with Shen Ming and Shen Yun.
After walking not far, a panicked middle-aged man ran towards him. The man's face was pale and his clothes were messy. Shen Yun quickly stopped the bullock cart to avoid hitting him.
Shen Yun frowned and was about to say to tell him to be more careful while walking when he was interrupted by the man's panicked voice.
"The county seat, the county seat is broken down, and the refugees have invaded the county government office."
Shen Yue was originally sitting in the carriage. Hearing this, he suddenly opened the curtain and asked, "What's going on? Please explain clearly."
The middle-aged man looked at Shen Yuyu who came out of the curtain, felt the pressure coming from her body, and actually subconsciously told her what she said.
"A large number of refugees gathered outside the county town. I originally wanted to go to the county town to buy food, but the refugees outside were crazy. After entering the city, they rushed to the county government office and started to rob other people's food before they found the county magistrate. I finally managed The little food I bought was snatched away by the refugees."
After hearing the news, Shen Yuyu asked, seemingly unintentionally: "How much food did they steal from you?"
"Two...two kilograms of rice." The man said smoothly.
Shen Yuyu turned around and took out a cloth bag from the carriage and threw it towards the man. He subconsciously took it in his hand and looked at it. It turned out to be rice!
A little more than what he managed to buy in the county.
Before Shen Yuyu returned to the carriage, she said: "Let's go quickly."
I don’t know to whom this was said, but both parties responded.
Shen Ming and Shen Yun shook the whips in their hands in perfect agreement. The man glanced gratefully in that direction and ran away quickly.
When the people who were watching suddenly came to their senses, they realized that they had been in a daze. Not only had the girl who gave them food had left, but even the middle-aged man was nowhere to be seen.
Everyone was annoyed that they didn't react just now, but they didn't continue to worry about it. They all heard what the middle-aged man said just now. The refugees have invaded the county. Will they come again? They have to go home quickly and inform their families. Click to pack up and run.
Chen Yun was also talking about this here. He asked doubtfully: "Girl, why did you give that person so much food just now?"
Remember that the first lesson Shen Yuxi taught them was not to show kindness randomly.
Shen Yuhui said that because she was afraid that they would be too kind and cause trouble. She was afraid that she would not be able to guard them all the time on the way to escape, so she had to let them understand these principles in advance.
She explained: "What suddenly appeared in the little treasure box that grandpa gave me should be for me to thank him for telling us the news."
The few kilograms of grain she just gave to the middle-aged man was indeed a thank you for telling them the news.
"That's it." Shen Yun didn't dwell too much. In his opinion, the little treasure box belonged to her niece. It didn't matter what was in it or what she wanted to use it for. He just asked out of curiosity.
But thinking of what the middle-aged man said, he asked in a serious tone: "Should we tell everyone what that man just said?"
"When we get back, Grandpa and I will go to Li Zheng's house and tell him. Whether they want to believe it or not is none of our business. Let's pack our things when we get back."
"Okay." Shen Yun accelerated the speed of driving, and Shen Ming behind him quickly followed.
